Counselling for Women in South Melbourne, Bayside and Online

Welcome to Graceful Empowerment Counselling for Women

If you’ve been feeling over stretched, emotionally worn out, or simply not like yourself - you’re not alone. Many of the women we support are juggling careers, families, health, and life’s many roles—often without a moment to pause for themselves.

At Graceful Empowerment Counselling, we offer a calm, supportive space where you can take that much-needed pause. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, untangle the knots, and begin to reconnect with the parts of you that may have been left behind in the rush of daily life.

Whether you're feeling emotionally overwhelmed, burned out, adjusting to menopause, navigating a life transition, or quietly questioning what’s next—you’re welcome here.

Hi, I’m Hilary.

I support women who are often holding everything together on the outside - while quietly struggling on the inside. Maybe that’s you. Maybe you’ve been showing up for everyone else while feeling overwhelmed or unsure of what’s next for you.
